Question: ( 1 5 pts , standard ) StupidSort is a sorting algorithm that I invented last night. It can sort an array of n integers

(15 pts, standard) StupidSort is a sorting algorithm that I invented last
night. It can sort an array of n integers in worst case as well as average case
time O(n3). We also know that partition is a procedure, with return value
r, that reorganizes an array of n integers and splits the reorganized array
into a low-part and a high-part, separated by the element indexed by r. Let
mixsort (A,1,n) be an algorithm that sorts an array A with n integers. It
works as follows:
if pq, return;
r=partition(A,p,q);
//run mixsort on the low part
mixsort(A,p,r-1);
//run StupidSort on the high part
StupidSort (A,r+1,q);
}
Compute the average-case time complexity of mixsort. Please faithfully fol-
low the steps of "write a formula", "guess a solution" (Try to guess O(n3)),
and "check your solution" and show your math work.
